Im hoping to have BA, the PS Ive seen has given me a ball park of sizes. Just lookin for a second opinion to make a comparison to his expertise. I would like a look similar to the photographs shown below. Given my starting point in the first picture, what would be some recommendations on CCs and Profile to achive a similar end result to the pictures? Would my slight asymmetry call for 2 different size implants? 5'3 115lbs bwd 14 rib cage 29 Thank your for your response :)

4+1 steps to choose the ideal size of your breast implants

I think your question is very interesting. You have given the FIRST and more important step: the clue to your plasting surgeon to allow him/her to understan your desire. After this, in my experience, there are 3 more steps in order to achieve your desired final result: SECOND: Based on measurements, your surgeon will take photographs, on which he/she will be able to explain the different options (shapes, sizes, ..). THIRD: The use of Biodynamic software... more

How to achieve desired breast size

You have a lot of complicated answers to your question! Your surgeon needs to match the volume (breast size your are looking for) with the width (bwd) to decide on the proper implant. Are you desiring saline or silicone implants? The volume difference you have can easily be adjusted with a saline implant. Your photos don't reveal the true difference between your two breasts, but if you are having silicone implants it might need to be corrected with two different... more

Committing to an Implant Before Surgery is Foolhardy

Hi there- If you think about this for a second, you will understand... and understanding is the key to learning and success, right? Fundamentally, the reason you are pursuing this (breast augmentation) is because you would like to achieve a certain appearance, right? This is reinforced by the fact that you've actually posted photos of an outcome you would like for yourself. Further, it should not be difficult to understand that the final appearance of your breasts is going to... more

Selecting breast implants

Online opinions regarding breast implant size is not equivalent to an in person consultation and examination. If you want another opinion, you may want to seek 1 or more additional consultations from plastic surgeons in your area. However, realize that you may obtain 3 different set of recommendations that can be even more confusing for you. Select the plastic surgeon with whom you are most comfortable with and who should be a reputable board certified plastic surgeon. Ultimately, I... more

Breast Implant Size

Hello again Crys3617, As I said yesterday, because of the differences in nipple areolar position and the apparent increased projection of the left breast with the extra skin apparent below the areola, it is likely you will need two different sized implants. Additionally, the BWD seems wider on the left. This is not an unusual situation, and I place asmmetric implant sizes frequently. However, as the others have said, intra-operative sizing is crucial to be certain... more

Guesstimating implant size

The photos you've posted are extremely reasonable for a woman of your current size and weight. The slight asymmetry between the breasts can be addressed by inflating implants differentially. Because of the way the skin drapes over the implants and the dissection of the breast pocket, we can approximate the breast size based on our experience as board certified plastic surgeons. The more input a patient can offer, the better!

Implant Size

It is very difficult to guess the implant size needed for a certain result from looking at pictures. I have found in doing over 2000 augmentations that trying on implants in the office and various other techniques do not work well either. I will always make an estimate in the office but in every patient I will use a temporary sizer in the operating room to determine the final implant size that it takes to give the appearance my patient tells me she is wanting. Then I will... more

How to choose the best breast implant size in Los Agneles

The most important decision in breast augmentation is choosing the right size breast implants. Most women tend to underestimate the breast implant size. The pictures that they bring in are often of larger breast implants that what they say that they want. Therefore, I have patients try on different size breast implants in my office to see which size looks the best on them.

Nice Natural look

You have picked a good looking size. It looks very natural and fits her body. I suggest to start with the rice test. 1 cup of rice is 250ccs of volume. Try 1,11/3,.1 1/4, 1 1/2, 1 3/4. One of these will feel right for you. Place the rice in nylon stockings and place in a sheer bra. You can wear this out in public to get a feeling of the size. Next measure the width of you breast it could be 10 to 12 cms. Look at the different profiles of the... more

Choosing implant size

Thank you for your question. In my practice, I ask patients to bring in photos of what they want to achieve (as you have done). I take these photos into the operating room and while I have a temporary sizer in place, I sit each patient upright on the operating room table and make adjustments in size, pocket dissection, adjustment for best symmetry possible, etc. I have all sizes of implants available and once I have the "look" the patient is looking to achieve, I... more
